that's true, but with my small amount of users, this is no problem.
You could build a cronjob deleting all 14 day old mails in Trash.
(something with find and the -ctime option)

With dovecot 1.1 you could do following:

With these quota-rules it is possible to limit trash-size expecially for
this folder.
